    Hi all,

    Today whilst chatting to a friend at my hobby club, she mentioned that it can be hard to get enough handmade decorations for the church.(where we hold the club)

    Every year they have a big tree and all the ornies are in gold and white with Christian symbolic images on them - or made in those shapes e.g. angel, lamb, dove, cross etc. Apparently butterflies are also suitable.

    So I offered to make some. I am looking forward to trying out new ideas and will probably make some like this for my own tree as I have now found that it has far too much red, gold and green on it. So white and gold will make a nice change.
